Sent (Graubünden) from a promotional website:

"Der vorliegende Prospekt führt Interessierte durch die Heidi - Welt im Unterengadin und Val Müstair. Sämtliche Drehorte sind mit Schildern gekennzeichnet und die wichtigsten Ausschnitte nochmals beschrieben. Die Dörfer, in denen ein Heidi - Ausschnitt gedreht wurde, sind eingangs mit den Aushängeschilder "Heidi Drehort 2000" markiert.

Sent

Eine besondere Inspirationsquelle für die Filmcrew: In keinem anderen Ort wurden so viele Szenen gedreht wie in Sent und Umgebung. Der typische Engadiner Dorfkern sowie der herrliche Standort etwas oberhalb von Scuol mit Sicht auf das ganze Tal wurden zu Drehorten.
Der Hof Vastur beispielsweise, eine gute Wanderstunde von Sent entfernt, bietet einige Attraktionen wie eine bewirtete Hüttenatmosphäre und die herrliche Panoramasicht. Wem der Weg zu lang oder zu anstrengend ist, setzt sich einfach in eine Pferdekutsche.
Im Dorf selbst bieten das Hotel Rezia - im Film als Pension der Mutter zu sehen - oder der grosszügige Dorfplatz inmitten der wuchtigen Engadinerhäuser eindrückliche Kulissen. Die Strasse, die ins mystische Val Sinestra führt, wurde kurzerhand zum "Peter-fällt-vom-Bike-Weg" umbenannt. Dieser leicht zu befahrende Bikeweg ins Val Sinestra führt zum Drehort des Totenmahls. Das geheimnisvolle Hotel am Ende des Tals ist definitiv einen Besuch wert.

"Finland offers Finnwacky experiences

It appears Finland tourism has found its niche.  This northern Europe destination is offering unique experiences called "Finnwacky."

This year in Finland, you can sling your spouse or significant other across your back and make like a 19th Century Finnish wife stealer. Or take that Nokia phone and throw it right back to Finland where it came from.  It is the wacky world of annual happenings from a land better known for sophisticated design, Santa Claus, racing and ice hockey stars, midnight sun, and venerated musicians such as Sibelius.

Whether you participate or just want to observe, Finland offers about 40 annual events that range from off beat to way wacky; and the list grows longer each year, Visit Finland said.  These Finnwacky events, which compliment a treasury of more traditional venues, capture the flip and fast developing side of the once shy Finnish personality.

Visit Finland has provided the below Finnwacky list of events occurring this year: 

Ninth World Sauna Championships. Test your mettle or sisu as the Finns call it. The men s sauna starts at 230 degrees Fahrenheit and gets kicked up every 30 seconds. Although most Finns take sauna two to four times a week, this competition makes all but the heartiest deliriously punchy. As many as 80 contestants from 16 countries as far away as Kazakstan and Japan participate. The one who can take the heat longest wins. Finland s hottest two day event takes place in Heinola, 4 hour drive north of Helsinki, on August 3 and 4, 2007. http://www.saunaheinola.com/

The Wife-carrying World Championships July 7, 2007 are now part of the three-day Sonkajarvi Festival but harken back to a 19th century "qualification test" requiring damsel snatching used by an elite group of bandits. Through mud and water, rain or shine, the winning couple competes to win the title and prize, the "wife s" weight in beer. Participants include couples from the USA, Europe and Asia. Visitors can partake in a medieval market, karaoke contests, dance hall fun and enjoy wonderful Finnish food. www.sonkajarvi.fi

Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships will be held August 25, 2007 in the Nokia Corporation s home country. Length of throw and style are paramount to winning this coveted medal. The contest takes place in the Lake District town of Savonlinna, site of the renowned Savonlinna Opera Festival. www.savonlinnafestivals.com

The World Championships in Swamp Football raise the status of being bogged down in mud to an international level. Two teams, a stretch of thickly mudded ground and a soccer ball will set the stage for the 10th anniversary play offs to be held in north eastern Finland in Hyrynsalmi July 12-15, 2007. There s no offside rule. If you lose your boots in the mud you can t pause to change or replace them.

Air Guitar Contest: Would-be Jimi Hendrixes and aspiring Brian Mays congregate annually to trade licks and strut their stuff as masters of the phantom instrument. There are training camps , lectures and demonstrations of the sport , as well as the competition itself to be held at the Club Teatria in Oulu in North West Finland. The entire city becomes a rocking party September 5-7, 2007. www.airguitarworldchampionships.com"
